Used 2005 accord, transmission question

I am considering buying a used 2004 accord ex(24k miles). It is a
4cylinder automatic. I have heard accords have lots of tranmission
problems. Is it only with the v6's as I believe I read once? thanks.

Mostly the V6s. In any case, the tranny problems were fixed by the '04
model year.

I also kinda wonder how many of those "problems" were due to nobody knowing
how to properly check a Honda's AT fluid level.

True.

True too. I was just wondering.
